No matter how much time you spend planning your life to ensure that everything goes right, you will ultimately find that sooner or later one or more things will catch you by surprise, and it is usually those things that are an inconvenience to your perfect plan.

This of course does not mean that it is pointless planning things, because proper planning will ensure that the amount of curve balls that life throws at you will be substantially lower.

Okay, so life throws you a curve ball every now and then. The big question is what you do with that ball when it comes your way.
